ASPIRATIONS DASHED.

An amusing and withal very serious
story comes from Oakland, California,
Miss Lilly F. Brown being the some
what romantic heroine. Miss Brown
had observed that widows were about
the freest and joliiest members of her
sex; that they were not hedged about
and hampered by the restrictions which
society wound around spinsters; that as
rule they were attractive in the eyes
of men, and in plain words could have
lots of fun without destroying their
characters. Having observed all these
things, and concluded that she dldn t
want to wait the slow process OF time
in freeing her from a husband and
making her a widow, Miss Brown
sought a physician, and stating her
case to him asked that he would ar
range marriage between her and one
of his male patients who was about to
take his departure for the golden
whence" The doctor had such pa
tent on his hands. one Frank Mckee,
young printer who was in the last
stages of consumption, and who would
probably not outliye the marriage cere-
mony a week. The young fellow was
willing to accommodate the lady, and
she was therefore Immediately made
Mrs. Frank Mckee. Being wealthy,
she undertook to make the last days OF
her husband as comfortable as possible,
and to this end supplied all his wants
and provided him with tender nursing.
Remarkable and unfortunate as it may
seem, instead of dying promptly, Mckee
at once showed signs of improvement
and under. the improved care and gener-
Gus treatment he waxed fat and grew
strong. AS he got better his wife grew
worse, and as the days strung out into
weeks her heart grew faint and sick.
Finally Frank found strength to visit
her in her elegant home, where he went
to claim the rights of husband, but
she did not see things in that Light and
had him thrust forth as a mendicant
and vagabond. She had married to be
q widow, not wife, and she didn't pre-
pose that nature should interfere with
her plan. At this stage the matter
rests. She can't 60 into weeds, and in
dulge in the frolics and destinations of
widow; she will not be a wife and has
deprived herself of the freedom of
maidsnhooG. She would like to bring
suit for divorce, but her husband will
give her no cause. Its sad case, in.
deed.

NO TIME TO WASTE.

only two months before election day
"a more important eli elton day than
has ever daWned on this Territory.
Only two months in which to call
primaries, choose delegates to county
and district conventions, hold nominal
ing conventions, make up tickets, en-
plOy campaign speakers, arrange and
conduct campaign, and do all the
work incidental to an election which in
wolves the political life or death of the
majority party of the Territory. If one
will consider for moment the work to
be performed he will realize there is no
time to waste; if he will think of the
necessity of that work being well and
thoroughly done, he will be uneasy
until start has been made. We know
that the Liberals will make a desperate
effort to capture a majority Of the
Legislature, and every body is aware
that they are equal to any baseness or
fraud which will help them to success
in their schemes. Hence it stands the
people in hand to adopt such measures
IS will defeat the enemy in all its grasp
ing undertakings. The way to do this
is TO put good tickets in the
field early, and impress on the
citizens a determination to elect
their tickets. One session of Liberal
Legislature would be equivalent to the
permanent control of the Territory by
the pronounced enemies to the people,
for such laws would be enacted as would
deprive the majority of all hope Of re-
covering their rights as citizens.
In the coming campaign we hope to
see the young men in politics" put into
harness and brought to the front. There
are scores of young men here who vii
vote this year for the first time in their
lives, having reached their majority
since the last election there are other
scores who have taken little if any part
in politics. All these should be brought
out and interested in the contest, for it
is plain enough that for few years
the young men will hold the balance of
PO1AO4NoA POHC4 LII G6A Ii III 90
young men are started right, they will
continue right, employing their power
and influence for good. The young
man is an enthusiast; the party which
arouses his enthusiasm will get his vote
and receive the benefit of his effort, and
in this case that party should be the
Peoples for the interests of nine out Of
ten OF the young men naturally are
identical with those of the people who |
have made and controlled the Territory.
In making up their campaign parties
and appointments, as well as in ar
ranging their tickets, we hope the
Peoples committees will consider the |
importance of winning and retaining the
young element We also hope active
work will begin at once and continue
until the Territory has been canvassed |
and the people "enthused" as never
before.

Uncle Sam Continues to Buy Bonds

(By telegraph to the Asheville Citizen.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-To- days
offerings of bonds to the govern
ment amounted to $253, 900 Of which
$153,9 $50 were Al per cents, and
s99, $50 per cents. Acting SeCre
tary Thompson said this afternoon
that he could only account for the
smallness of offerings on the theory
that holders of bonds did not care
to convert them into money. It
might however, he added, be re-
garded as healthy sign as tending
to show that $20,O00,O00 recently
put upon themarket by operations
of the department had averted the
possibilities of a panic aid had
brought about feeling OF greater
confidence and security. Less than
SIS 100000 is needed, he said, to
meet the sinking fund requirement
of the $14,0O0,000, and there are
still 9 days within which to obtain
tt at amount according to terms of
circular. Applications for the pre-.
payment of interest were received
to-day on bonds amounting to
$174,050, making a total to date
$95, ,059, $50.

FROSTED TOBACCO,

Frost damaged the tobacco cror
about in spots. Ohio suffered but
very little, while Kentucky was very
seriously damaged, INVOLVING about
half the crop in large areas. A Pc,
tersburg dispatch of Tuesday SAYS:
Intelligence is received that frost
in adjacent counties did considera.
BILE damage to the tobacco crop, one
half of which is now in the field.
On the river and creek bottoms the
damage was greatest. kilograms
received from various parts of North
Carolina state that the tonacco has
been badly injured by the frost.
Reports from Tennessee are to
the effect that the tobacco in some
sections OF that State has suffered
severely from the frost. Considera.
BILE uneasiness is felt here among
the tobacconists as to the injury
done to the tobacco by the frost.
1t is feared, however, that the crop
will fall far short of what was an
tlcipated before the frost appeared.

gloomy and cold. The committee
on contested seats did not adjourn
until six o'clock this morning, and
it is said left things pretty much IN
the same shape as recommended by
the State committee. According to
experienced secretaries OF the con~
vention if nothing unforeseen arises
the business can be completed in
three or four hours. At precisely
lilo o'clock the clerk of the State
committee, Mr.. Bouruch, called the
convention to order for a moment
only to make an announcement.
The announcement was that all
members of the committee on resoe
lutions are requested to meet at
Gov. Dorsheimer's room at once.
This was received with some sur
prise as it foreshadows some trouble
with the platform and is generally
tn .ught to be on the Civil Service

Every Jew on this day endeavors to be
at peace with his Creator and with all
mankind. Charity is one of the promi-
nent features of this, as it is ofall Jewish
days. During all public service, when
held those whose relatives have died
